How to consume english indian dal tadka, steamed rice without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the quantity of steamed rice you consume. Instead of one large serving, try having a smaller portion to decrease the carbohydrate load.
Increase Fiber Intake
Pair your meal with high-fiber vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, or leafy greens. Fiber helps slow down the absorption of sugars.
Add Protein
Include a source of protein like grilled chicken, tofu, or a boiled egg. Protein can help moderate blood sugar spikes.
Healthy Fats
Add a small amount of healthy fats like avocado slices or a handful of nuts to your meal. Healthy fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Whole Grains
Substitute white steamed rice with whole grains such as quinoa, barley, or brown rice. These alternatives are absorbed more slowly by the body.
Pre-Meal Hydration
Drink a glass of water about 30 minutes before your meal. This can help reduce hunger and prevent overeating.
Vegetable-Rich Dal
Enhance your dal tadka with additional vegetables like tomatoes, spinach, or zucchini. This adds more fiber and nutrients to your dish.
Cook Rice Al Dente
If you choose to eat rice, cook it al dente rather than overcooking. Less cooked rice has a slower digestion rate.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Consider adding a small amount of apple cider vinegar to your meal or drink a diluted mixture before eating. It can help improve your body's insulin sensitivity.
Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and chew thoroughly. Taking your time can help your body process the food more effectively and reduce spikes.
Post-Meal Activity
Engage in light physical activity like a short walk after eating. This can help your muscles use the glucose more efficiently.
Regular Monitoring
Keep track of your blood sugar levels to understand how different foods and portion sizes affect you, allowing you to make more informed decisions.

The concept of using CGM to guide your training and food plan is brilliant. The app is also very well laid out.

I didn't follow any fancy diet, yet managed to educate myself around food, and built a sustainable & healthy lifestyle.
